The franchise from the Big Apple is taking on most of the 10 million dollars owed to Leonard.

The National Football League trade deadline is Tuesday afternoon.

The exchange comes a day after New York lost in OT to the NY Knicks, falling to 2-6, last place in the NFC East. Seattle, who beat the Cleveland Browns to improve to 5-2, are in the top position in the NFC West.

Seattle has been getting strong play from DLs Dre’Mont Jones and Jarran Reed this campaign, but the depth behind those 2 is very lacking. The only backup is the veteran Mario Edwards. The organization lost LB Uchenna Nwosu to a campaign-ending injury in Week 7.
